Escape to your own private cabin retreat in the heart of beautiful Ellijay with this charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, nestled on a sprawling and private 3.5-acre lot. As you drive up the long and private driveway, you'll be greeted by a large and inviting rocking chair front porch that welcomes you to your new home.
